This yinvention relates to an extensible waist band adapted to be attached to the body emi u y Y y y 'bery coated lfacesbeing arranged ony thev inbracing portion lof a garment and has reference particularly to a handmade up of rubber coated knitted fabric which isso folded upon itselff and then treated, that one edge is rolled and perfectly smooth, the mid portion is two ply and adhered together making it capable of longitudinal expansion only, and the sides opposite theroll are unattached and intended to embrace opposite sides of the end of the garment which may be gathered Or otherwise arranged at the body embracing portions to allow for the expansible band.

It is to be noted that the present invention is a further development of my improved belting which forms the subject matter of my co-pending application for Letters Patent,

filed December 7th, 1928Serial No. 324,429.

. This invention has for its object to provide an Vextensible band for garments, which is highly elastic in one direction and which may be made up of the self material of the garment and so easily and efficiently applied to the garment as to greatly reduce the cost of `manufacture of such articles, for example, as undergarments, hosiery and knitted outer garments.

.ing portion of a garment.

@ne embodiment of my invention is illustratively exemplified in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure l is a side elevationalview of a length of waist band constructed in accordance with the invention;

n Figure 2 is a substantially transverse sec-` tional view of the band taken on lines 2-2 of Figure 1;` and Figure- 3 is a perspective view `of the band applied tog-the body embrac- Beferring now tothe drawings, 10 denotes apiece ofknitted or loosely woven material capable of stretching in Vone direction only, longitudinally. .One face of the material is` coated with a thin layer of rubber 11. The

process of applying a layer of rubber of this asf'to` bring'itsp'sideedges together, the rubside'and infcoiitact with each other. `.'I lie folded/portion `is rallowed to` roll,` the 'I'nid Aportion is formed' into anintegral strip by,

applying :a lrnurled roller'to the outer sur- "coated, ,stock,inetteIlongitudinally'thereof soj i" y faces before the band is subjected to a vul- ,i

"canizing'g treatment. exlolained` in `the aforesaid application, this treatment causes... the two adjacentrubber,surfaces-tolmit and 'adhere together very closelyfand to partic-v v Vularly'r" become integral after'the samejhas 2vbeen vulcanized. ljlfdesiremof course, the 4"rollv at the folded'edge maybe "dispensed with and theentire'strip, except onlythe free ends 12, may be formedinto an integral strip. ic'cording to thepresent'inventiomthe adf fhesi'on vis carried lout v'only in the' mid vportion `:of the band, the two ends 1.2?formi-ng'y the marginal vportions thereof, as'illustrated in yFigure 2,*beingl allowedto remain separated.

It will be clearly understood, of course, that in rubber coating thernid portion of the band, the two ends 12 forming the marginal` coating.

In the manufacture of garments utilizing my improved bands, the endto receive the band` is gathered or allowed to remain straight and inserted between the surfaces of the two separated ends 12, as illustrated in Figure 3. The ends l2arethen attached to the opposite sides yof thegarment lmaterial by any convenient means, as for example a row of stitching 18, which must of'necessity Y,

becapable of stretching with the band.

A garment in which my improved band is incorporated has all the advantage of one in which elastic"webbing is used as a supportv 90 Without the necessity of forming a hem 'in the garment and inserting the webbing'therein Y which is the usual practice.

It will be understood from the foregoing that by means of my'invention my improved,

bandmaybemade as shown in Figure 2, where g the entire surface of one side of the banding materialhasbeen rubber. coated and the center portion at the fold is rolled. It will also be understood that my invention contemplates..

75 portions may, if desired, be :left free from la bandingmade ofmaterial one side of which has been. entirely rubber coated and the roll at the folded edge of which may be dispensedV with, so that all but the free ends 12 have been 5 made integral as hereinabove described. My

invention comprises as Well, banding so made that one side of the handing material has been completely coated except as to the' edges 12 Y A"thereof from which the coating may be omit- 10 ted, in which construction the folded endgmay g be left rolled, if desired, or the roll at theA folded end may be disposedA With.

VHaving described my invention, what 1 '-,claimisz 15, 1. As anarticle ogf manufacturea contin- Y r 'uous stripy offtextile material, rubber coated throughout its Width and'folded longitudinally thereof, the fold forming a soft unfilled Y ,c tube, the rubber of the tWo layers at the longii "No tudinal mid portion being integrally adhered posite the fold being open.
